ADVIOE AND OONBENT
When Governor Dole made his great
light for the annexation of these Isl
ands ho and his followers told the
Hawailans about the great benefits
which they ould derive by having
American methods of government
American liberty American principles
and any other old thing American
here When annexation was art ac
complished fact wo dldni feel so very
bad after all because he had told us
that now we would have a truly- popu
lar government on the American plan
iTliere is something wrong somewhere
and we feel disappointed Wo thought
that tho Dole auiocracy and the plu
tocracy behind him were at an end
and that he or any other chief magis
trate of the Territory would be In
their official chairs to obey the man
date of the people and not to defy Its
representatives and pose as the Great
I Am The Governor has certain pow
ers granted to him by the Organic
Act but tho present incumbent of the
office can rest uiat these pow
ers were granted becauso tho men
who made tho Act thought that we
were thoroughly Americanized and
that no attempt would be made by
any Governor here to lly in the face
of the people
A resolution was passed in the Leg
islature last week askipg the Gover
nor1 to send his nominations and ap
pointments of Territorial officers to
tho Senate for Its approval Tho fol
lowing is the answer sent to the Sen
ate
A certified copy of a resolution of
the Senate dated March 7 has been
received requesting me to nominate
and appoint persons to fill all offices
which I am autnorized to appoint by
and with the advice and consent of
the Senate at the earliest possible
date
No appointments have been made
to such offices during a session of tho
Senate but several of such appoint
ments were made previous to the date
when the Organic Act went into effect
Tho majority of sucn offices were fill
ed after tho Organic Act went into
effect and when tho Senate was not
in session which appointments will
be submitted to the Senate in duo
time for its action
Very respectfully
SANFORD B DOLE
In his official organ the Governor
goes oven further when i says that
tho only answer tho Senato deserves
to Its request is an invitation to go to
Hades and mind Its own business
Let us review the power given to
tho Governor by the Organic Act Sec
tlon 80 says tho Governor shah nom
inato and by and with tho advice and
consent of tho Senate of tho Territory
of Hawaii appoint tho Attorney Gen
eral Treasurer Commissioner of Pub
lic Lands Commissioner of Agricul
ture and Forest ry Superintendent of
Piibllc Works Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction Auditor Doputy Audi
tor Surveyor High Sheriff mombers
of tho Board of Health Commission
ers of Public Instruction Board of
Prison Inspectors Boards of Registra
tion and Inspectors of election and
any other boards of a public character
that may bo created by law and ho
may make such appointments when
the Senato Is not iu session by grant-
ing commissions which shall unless
such uppolntmcntQ arc confirmed ex
pire nt tho end of tho noxt session of
tho Senate
Governor Dole thinks that ho can
manago our affairs without tho Sen
ate and ho declines to send to It his
nominations which ought to have
been his very first act after tho read
ing of his Inibecllo message His In
tention Is we understand to send In
his nominations after tho appropria
tion bill Is passed Ho s very foxy
but ho doesnt know all the tricks of
tho political trade Under tho Organic
Act he shall mako his appointments
by and with tho advice and consent
of the Senate The consent consists
of course simply in the Senate
scratching an O K across the com
missions and that can bo done in tho
twinkling of nn eye but advice
means that duo deliberation should
bo given that tho Senate should sit
as a court in fact and carefully weigli
tho reasons which may bo advanced
for or against the nominations of the
Governor A judge takes a case un
der advisement and may thereby de
lay his decision but as a rule tho de
cision will bo more mature mpre care
ful than If It were rendered off hand
It Is tho same with tho Senate It
has the right it is its duty to care
fully consider the nominations of tho
Governor and they should be furnish
ed to the Senate without uelay
Why Is tho Governor hesitating in
sending in his nominations Is he
ashamed of the officials ho has se
lected to serve tho Territory Docs
he think ho can bluff tho Senate Into
following his political course or is
It simply that he Is again making
an ass of himself and those political
ly nffillated with him We cannot
bollove that his reason is to save for
some of his pets another months
salary before their names disappear
from tho payroll of the tax eaters
Mr Dole cannot afford to fight tho
Legislature because he is by no
means a strong man in Washington
oven if his organ says mat the family
compact is willing to spend a billion
dollars In corrupting the national
legislators in Congress It will be
far better for the Gdveruor and for
tho territory if ho comes off his
perch and performs his duty as a
servant of the people represented
by our local legislature
